FAQ

Welcome to Captured by Lydia's help page! If you have questions hopefully you can find the answer here but if you can't don't hesitate to contact me!! I am always available to help ♥

General

Do you provide props? Short answer...some. Since I am not a studio photographer I keep my props limited since we are typically dragging them into a field somewhere ;) You are absolutely welcome to bring your own, but you can usually count on me for some of the following: blankets, quilts, crates, chairs, and a wagon. I use my discretion when choosing what to bring with me, but if you have a request for something let me know!

Are we required to purchase prints from your lab? Nope! I am a service based photographer, I provide access to a professional lab as a service for my clients. I keep my print prices super low because I want you to show off your beautiful artwork in your homes!

Do you charge to travel? No & yes. Mileage is include up to a certain amount (see info below) after that total has been met, travel is charged.​Mileage chart round trip from my home in Lima, OhioPortrait & Senior sessions- 60 miles round tripSuper Mini & Family Mini - N/A, these must take place in the Lima areaWeddings - 140 miles round trip, locations 2+ hours away will also be requested to provide a nights stay at hotel close by.

SENIOR SESSIONS

How many outfits can I wear? I suggest no more than one FULL change per hour. So if you have selected a 1 hour package you could have 2 different outfits. However you could bring jackets, sweaters, scarves, shoes and chunky jewelry to switch out quickly to give you more looks.

Is makeup included? No, but I HIGHLY recommend having your makeup done. Not only is it FUN to get pampered, but it really gives your images a complete look.

Can I bring friends/family to my session? That is up to you! Do you feel comfortable posing and smiling (and serious facing ← Yep, I said facing) in front of other people? The more people, the more distractions, but it is your session so you do what makes you comfortable. You don't even have to have anybody come if you'd rather it be just you and me! If you do bring people, I ask that they leave their cameras at home, and if they take a few selfies and behind the scenes photos with their phones, I'd love a tag!! @capturedbylydia ♥
